日工程師批超薄麥書
Published by Kelly February 22nd, 2008 in Odds and Ends.日經電子拆機小隊近日拆開超薄麥書探看究竟，一眾日本工程師拆開超薄麥書後，直指超薄麥書的結構難以理解，例如超薄麥書需要三十粒鏍絲固定鍵盤，整部機用上很多鏍絲，數量是一般日系PC 的數倍。有工程師揚言，如果他本人向公司推薦這樣的設計肯定不會被通過，而且他覺得技術上超薄麥書沒有突出之處，甚至可以以更低的成本製造出一樣的電腦。
有工程師估計超薄麥書結構之奇可能是組裝的工廠沒有反映技術意見給蘋果。他指出若果是日本的話，負責組裝的工廠會投訴或提供技術意見去降低成本，超薄麥書給他的感覺是工廠只單純地接下訂單。
按上述工程師的意見，日經電子拆機小隊估計蘋果對於硬件設計的細工和降低成本一環沒有多加注意，蘋果似乎專注於產品方向，例如外表，軟件和用戶界面。全文詳見此。
超薄麥書是否真的如日工程師所言物非所值嗎？歡迎大家留言發表意見。
一般用家都只注重外表、介面，apple 只是市場導向，無謂曲高和寡。
就文章看來，日工程師並沒有說超薄麥書物非所值，只認為蘋果可在降低成本上多下工夫。
我想，您是誤會了。
I’m a bit surprised by the arrogance of some of these so called engineers. A sentence like this one makes me mad: “I can’t find anything that is technically superior. We can make the same computer at a lower cost”
No offense to some Japanese engineers I admire and happen to know, but such bold statement from someone as an engineer from a major PC manufacturer in Japan makes me laugh.
I am sure that there is some room for improvement on the MacBook Air, but this article is somehow typical from the Japanese media.
It is always impressive how people dismiss other work and always think they can do better job. If they really can, they should just do it.
同意Kelly的說法,日本仔永遠覺得自己做野/產品最好. 無錯佢地包裝同設計有一手,見sony/fujisu或日本手機就知 .靚係靚,但看覺得點出都冇imac/iphone/ipod或其他來自歐洲的產品果種簡約美,果種大氣… 呢個亦都係鐘意apple的一大原因.
日本野靚,但我唔識欣賞;所以或者呢班工程師實在太鐘意自己野,而睇低左人地的…
講左答案你知既IQ題
你都會話：好易姐原來！我都識答啦！
正如好多大陸 iPod 都可以做到跟 iPod 外表接近一樣但價錢更平，佢地都會話 iPod「無咩特別」。
